My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 456
On New Year's Eve, the old Xu's family rarely had a small reunion dinner. Why did they say "small", because Xu Ting, his wife and Ma Xu were missing.

Needless to say, the sumptuousness of the dinner.

In addition to some of the home-cooked dishes Xu Ma used to cook, he also stewed a fat and oily old hen, and several boxes of canned saury that Xu Dong brought back from Qindao.

Qindao and his party did not have the expected big harvest. A few boxes of canned saury were the only consolation prizes, better than nothing.

At the dinner table, Xu Bin ate the most. He cooked two full bowls of rice by himself and drank half a pot of chicken soup. His appetite was very good.

It wasn't until this moment that Dabao really believed that his uncle wasn't bragging, that his uncle could really knock down ten people with one punch, because grandma told him that eating a lot would make him stronger.

After the meal, the whole family watched TV for a while, chatted about some household chores, and then dispersed.

Xu Bin's family was exhausted and brought a bunch of luggage. They started yawning just after eight o'clock. Finally, under Xu's mother's persuasion, they went back to the bedroom to rest early.

Holding a pot of freshly brewed black tea, Xu Dong strolled to his parents' bedroom.

Due to the approach of the Spring Festival and the second major expansion of the bakery, there were a lot of things to do, so Dad Xu left early and returned late these two days.

Xu Dong didn't even have time to speak about overseas property purchases!

Mother Xu was making the bed, and when she saw her youngest son coming in, she couldn't help but wonder:

"If you don't go to sleep, what are you doing here?"

Xu Dong explained casually: "I have something to do with my father, Mom, why don't you go to the next door to see the grandchildren, I'll stay here for no more than an hour at most."

"What? I can't listen?"

Mama Xu said in a bad mood.

"How can I? I'm not afraid that you will be bored. If you always want to stay, can I drive you away?" Xu Dong joked. .

Father Xu quickly waved his hand: "Old lady, go and accompany Dabao and the others, the three of them were still arguing about listening to bedtime stories just now."

"Hmph, just go, who cares to listen to your father's nonsense."

Mama Xu stood up with a look of disdain, helped her wife put on a coat, and then patted her buttocks and went to the grandchildren's bedroom.

After Xu's mother left, Xu's father frowned:

"Tell me, what do you want from me? If it's about the bakery, then it goes without saying. This is a task assigned by Mayor He himself, and there is no room for bargaining."

Xu Dongshun helped Dad fill up the tea.

"Dad, I understand what you said. What I want to talk about is not about the bakery, but about... it's barely a personal matter!"

"Oh? What's a private matter?" Father Xu asked curiously.

"I need a sum of money urgently now, can the company lend me a loan?"

"What are you doing, so short of money?"

Father Xu immediately became nervous. You must know that before this, he was the one who took the money from his son, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around today.

"I found a huge business opportunity. If I operate it well, I might have hundreds of times the profit." Xu Dong replied truthfully.

"How much? Hundred times? Did I hear correctly?"

Dad Xu was taken aback. Selling "flour" didn't even make such a big profit. He seriously doubted whether his third son had been cheated.

Xu Dong quickly shook his head: "Dad, where are you thinking, this matter is my own idea, no outsiders involved."

"Then tell me quickly, what's going on?" Dad Xu urged.

Xu Dong nodded, and asked without answering:

"Dad, have you heard about the Asian League?"

"I've heard of some, why, this matter has something to do with the Asian League?"

"Well, according to my guess, the Asian League will definitely be established within this year. This is an unprecedented opportunity." Xu Dong said excitedly.

"How did you know?"

As soon as the words were finished, Dad Xu suddenly thought of the identity of his youngest son as a "big prophet", so he skipped this question directly.

"Forget it, I won't ask you the reason, you tell me quickly, what do you want to do next?"

"Dad, once the Asian League is established, the restrictions on population movement among the member states will be lifted, and half of Asia will become a whole by then."

"Is it similar to the EU?"

"It's about the same, but the EU lacks a backbone, so it is divided internally, and the Asian League is different. The future is definitely promising."

Father Xu waved his hand: "Okay, Dad is not interested in this, so just tell me, what is that big opportunity?"

"This big opportunity is to buy property overseas. Dad, think about our domestic housing prices. Once the Asian League is established, there will definitely be a wave of immigration. Are you afraid you won't be able to make money?"

"It's not that easy, is it?"

"Of course it's not easy, and not all places have development potential. This requires a comprehensive analysis, but I have already selected a target, and now I need a start-up fund."

"Tell me, where do you want to speculate?"

"Dad, it's investment, not speculation."

Xu Dong corrected subconsciously.

Dad Xu curled his lips: "Your father and I, although I don't study much, I can still distinguish between 'investment' and 'speculation'. Your behavior is clearly speculation."

Xu Dong shrugged his shoulders. It doesn't matter what his father said, whether it's investment or speculation, as long as it can make money, it doesn't matter what it is called.

"You haven't answered the question yet? Where do you want to speculate?"

Xu Dong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat:
"I want to buy the largest university in the Southern Dynasties, Hancheng University."

"What? You're not dizzy, are you?"

"Dad, the Southern Dynasties have been fighting civil war for several years, and the university has long been abandoned. What I value is not the university itself, but the land and the fixed assets on it, that is, the house."

Xu Dong explained.

"If you want to buy it, will Nan Chao be willing to sell it?"

Dad Xu really couldn't imagine that a country that once claimed to be a superpower in the universe would have such a desolate scene.

How important is college?

I believe everyone understands.

"Of course I will sell it, and the price is very cheap."

"how much is it?"

Dad Xu finally remembered the most critical question.

"As long as you spend 1.5 million yuan, you can own the more than 6000 mu of land and more than 100 buildings on it. Dad, this is a real fixed asset!"

Father Xu said in astonishment, "Really only 1.5 million?"

"Really, it's more real than real gold. Hancheng is at war, and any fixed assets can't be sold at a high price."

"So that's it. Let me tell you, why is the price so cheap?" Dad Xu suddenly understood.

"Dad, this is a great time to pick up the leak!"

"its not right?"

Father Xu suddenly thought of a loophole.

"What's the matter?" Xu Dong wondered.

"I remember that there seem to be more than a dozen countries participating in the negotiations? Why don't you go to other countries and choose a war-torn country?"

"The main consideration is two points. On the one hand, the Southern Dynasty is the closest to Yanjing, so it is very convenient to manage; on the other hand, it is precisely because of the civil war in the Southern Dynasty that the asset price is so cheap."

Xu Dong replied patiently.

In fact, there is another important reason.

The summer in Xianan Peninsula is really too hot, the highest temperature often exceeds [-] degrees, that place is not a place for people to stay at all, and there was no large-scale development until Xu Dong was reborn.

Father Xu is still worried:
"Aren't you afraid that the civil war in the Southern Dynasties will escalate, and the campus might be blown up one day?"

Xu Dong seemed to be full of confidence: "I'm not afraid of being bombed, the [-] mu of land alone is enough to pay back the cost."

"Nisang is also close, and the political situation is stable and the risk is low. Why not choose Nisang?"

"Although Nisang is good, the house price is also expensive, and there are many volcanoes and earthquakes in that place, so the Chinese people are not very willing to go there. The development prospects are far inferior to those of the Southern Dynasties, and even the Northern Dynasties."

Basically, the Southern Dynasties, Northern Dynasties, and Nisang Three Kingdoms all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Southern Dynasties had a good foundation, but lacked natural resources.

The Northern Dynasties were just the opposite, with a poor foundation, but rich mineral resources, especially coal resources.

Nisang is somewhat similar to Nanchao, but natural disasters are flawed, and there is no solution at all, which seriously hinders them.

After all, no one can guarantee that as the drought continues to worsen, will it trigger other chain reactions?
All of this is actually unknown.
